I disagree with the assessments that Metros suck to drive, but then I haven't ever attempted to drive fast with one on any winding roads either... which, if a guy is trying to commute to work economically, ISN'T A FACTOR.

First thing that came to mind was Aeromodder's dopey claims of Tempo's becoming airborne at highway speeds due to lift; problem was he was driving a P.O.S. that left a trail of parts on the road. Of course when there are suspension and/or tire issues the car is not going to be fun to drive. They are all old cars now and so there will be worn out parts. Put it all in good working order and get back to me.
